Default First game you bought and when

This one could be a repeat but it will give some of the newer members a chance to join in.

What was the first game you bought and when.

I picked up a Final Fight for $275 in Denver, Co 4.5 years ago.

On 3/17/01 I purchased a Centipede cocktail and an Asteroids caberet.

I can't remember the exact price, but I think it was $700 for both.

I guess this doesn't count but in 98 I picked up a Mortal Kombat 2 for free. I wanted it to put another game in it but just left it the way it was. The vendor thought the game was broken but when I got it home and plugged it in it worked fine.

10/02 I bought a Carrier Air Wing ($225 Canadian) and a S.A.R. Search and Rescue ($25 Canadian) at auction. The SAR got converted to Time Soldiers, and then eventually sold. The Carrier Air Wing is undergoing a transformation into a multiJAMMA set up.

Mine would have been a Crystal Castles with a dead monitor and a spare dead monitor for $70 in the summer of 2002...

Non working Sky Shark for $100 January 2005.

All I HAD to do was pull out the interlock switch and the monitor came right up.

Hard to remember but I think my first was a Gorgar Pinball. Bought in 94 for $450. Wife did not like it as it was evil and the heart beat sound freaked her out at night Had it in the living room. That was back when before she broke me down and I still had balls. If your reading this dear I am just kidding
